When I was a PSO, I had a housemate with a T-shirt featuring the old, rainbow-striped, Mega-Global Fruit Corp logo, and the caption "F*ck different.".  So they clearly have form for this sort of thing.   ;D

Ye Mappe by Mr Larrington, on Flickr

No, it wasn't an historical article.
Dorpat, Kovno & Vilna - ahhh, I remember them! But they'd changed the names by the time I got there, & taken away the border between Kovno & Vilna.

Perhaps this was the result of some almost but not quite completely brain dead junior drone being aware that Estonia, Latvia & Lithuania had become independent with the fall of the USSR - & only being aware of that.
